"I bow my head in eternal obeisance to my Gurudev, the best of acharyas,
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj. He is the ever vigilant, stalwart
guardian of the current of pure devotion whose highest form flows from our
most worshippable Sri Rupanuga Guru-varga in their exclusive dedication to
Mahabhav, Srimati Radharani."

vaisnavera uchchhista tahe mora mano-nistha
vaisnavera namete ullasa
"The feet dust of the Vaishnavs is where I sport and take bath, Vaishnavs'
name is the water oblation. My mind is intently fixed upon the remnants of
Vaishnavs, and I am elated at the name of Vaishnavs."
gangara-parasa ha-ile paschate pavana
darsane pavitra kara—ei tomara guna
"If the Ganges touches someone, they are purified some time later; but one
becomes purified just by seeing you, O Vaishnava Thakur. Such is your power."

Om Vishnupad
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj:
"Everybody is giving their love and affection and all together making this
day for me... Actually, I am getting shy to make my birthday festival, but
devotees are always enthusiastic to make this festival, even in this pandemic
situation. Last week I declared, "I know you will not listen, so you can make
guru-puja, but do not make any festival on this day," but in many places
devotees have still arranged large festivals, they have still gathered so
many people. Devotees' enthusiasm, devotees' love and affection to me is
inconceivable—it is unbelievable, unimaginable, astonishing, and surprising
for me. I have no quality to deserve it. All the devotees all over the world
have so much love and affection for Gurudev, and this love and affection is
now coming to me; almost all of the devotees who serve me are not my
disciples, but they are all my well-wishers and my godbrothers and
godsisters, and even those who are senior to me also give me the respect and
the position of a guru in their heart—that is what I find astonishing."
(From "Inconceivable, Unbelievable, and Unimaginable")
